Option 1 - Military Partnership Program (MPP)

The Military Partnership Program is designed for active duty servicemembers, military reservists and ARNG ESC or CGI referrals who intend to complete their degrees with credit earned from Charter Oak State College distance learning courses. Students participating in this program will pay a reduced academic services fee and commit to enrolling in Charter Oak State College distance learning courses at the MPP tuition rate as outlined below.

Bachelor's degree
12 semester credit hours must be started within one year of the initial payment of the academic services fee.

Associate degree
6 semester credit hours must be started within one year of the initial payment of the academic services fee

Application Fee (includes degree plan summary)	$75
MPP Academic Services Fee	$280
MPP Tuition rate per credit	$230

If using tuition assistance, your TA must be on file prior to course registration.

Students who have met the credit requirement will have the option to renew for a second year in this program.

Option 2 - Matriculation Only

If you or your spouse plan to complete your degree by earning credit through sources other than Charter Oak State College, this approach is the better option. There are several options in earning additional credit including traditional or distance learning courses taken at other regionally accredited colleges and universities, standardized testing, and other ACE/PONSI credit recommended non-collegiate programs. Students pay tuition and fees directly to the institution where the credit is earned.

The matriculation fee covers the following:

• The first year of academic advising
• Evaluation and recording of transfer credit

Associate Degree Candidates Pay:

Application Fee (credit evaluation included)	$75
Matriculation Fee	$1055

Bachelor's Degree Candidates Pay:

Application Fee (credit evaluation included)	$75
Matriculation Fee	$1055

NOTE: CGI/ESC Candidates receive 10% reduction in cost.

Students requiring more than 12 months to complete their degree will pay a $490 Renewal Fee.
